Applications and nominations for the Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professorship Program 2025 are nor open. The aim of the program is to promote outstanding female scientists, to stimulate or intensify international scientific cooperations - and to create role models for the scientific community in Hamburg.

The winners of the 2024 Mildred Dresselhaus Prize have expressed their gratitude for the award in very moving words. Prof. Sonia Coriani from the Technical University of Denmark and Dr. Laura Cattaneo from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg were honored by the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and MIT have successfully created a new, long-lasting magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using only light. This breakthrough holds significant promise for advancing information processing and memory chip technology. The team...

An international team of scientists, with participation of DESY and the cluster of excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" has succeeded in producing and directly controlling hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. To this end, the team headed by Dr. Lukas Bruder, junior research group leader at the...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have made a groundbreaking advancement in light-controlled superconductivity, demonstrating that superconducting properties can be enhanced by coupling materials with quantum light in optical cavities. This study uses magnesium diboride (MgB₂)...

How can cancer drugs be delivered safely to their destination? An international team of researchers has been using the X-ray source PETRA III to test a technique for visualizing how a drug is distributed inside tumor cells. In the future, this approach could help to develop more targeted and hence more effective cancer...
